Email from Damian Bennett:
I have spent the better part of the weekend chasing down reports on the DJT assassination fail.
That
leaves the event itself and the event particulars do not sum up. There
is a broad consensus that the event was a massive security fail.
Agreed. The expiscatory Q is, was the fail procedural (i.e., incompetence) or operational (i.e., a sanctioned kill fail)?
Let me table-set with these:
Now have a look at the below (I'm patching together disparate clues so dates don't necessarily sequence).
- Video Shows Trump Shooter Moving On Roof, People Pointing Him Out Before Shooting July 14, 2024
For context, this was filmed 5:06 into the speech. The shooting happened 7:06 into speech. Two minutes to act or pull Trump off stage.
- Local Cop Confronted Would-be Trump Assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks On Roof Moments Before He Opened Fire, But Failed To Stop Him July 14, 2024
The officer...encountered Crooks, who pointed his AR-style rifle at them [sic]. The officer then backed down the ladder, and Crooks immediately took aim and loosed about eight shots at the former president...

Alexander, veteran sniper for the Canadian military who provided close
protection for major world leaders: "I'm very familiar with the layout
of these types of things and what the job should be, and yesterday what
happened, I have no doubts in my mind that the shooter had help from somewhere within an agency, an organization or the government.
... You cannot, in broad daylight, get onto a rooftop within, what
looked like a couple hundred yards if that [of the president]. You can't
get in that position with a gun when there's a president speaking. It cannot be done."
Of
the several eyewitness interview videos I have watched, the spectrum of
shots fired runs from 5 to 8 to 10. SO. A 'comically bad' shooter
enters a security perimeter with a rifle in plain view; climbs a ladder
(!) to a roof; bear-crawls to a clear-line-of-sight vantage ~130 yards
from the target; is observed by multiple civilians AND a Secret Service
sniper and spotter detail; encounters an LEO, who retreats; takes firing
position; acquires his target; squeezes off 5+ rounds, one of which has
lethal precision, before being 'neutralized'. [Pause.] Your thoughts?
The aftermath:
Your thoughts? [Pause.] Keep in mind 'conspiracy' theories 'debunked' in the press have tended to rapidly age into exposés then into factual consensus.
[Pause.] Thirty-two people had film or photograph cameras, in Dealey Plaza, most famously Abraham Zapruder. Of the thousands at the Butler rally almost all had active camera phones.

Now you have me besides how did shooter know he could be where he did and want to see graphics of shooter to all 4 victims, 1 dead, 3 wounded and how those shots line up
Local law enforcement did not *retreat* according to a Butler County supervisor.

The commissioner said the officer in question was in the process of being hoisted up on the roof by another patrolman and fell off the roof as Crooks pointed a weapon at him. The confrontation may have rushed Crooks into firing.
At the time he was shot, Trump was a candidate, not the Presidential nominee, and no VP had been named. This was his last rally before the RNC.
If he had been murdered, the RNC would have been an open convention, and the RINOs and Uniparty types (McConnell, Haley, etc) who, surprisingly, were present on Saturday, could have put a slate of candidates who would do nothing to disturb the plundering of America until the DemonRats could regain power.

Everyone seems to be assuming that the head shot was intentional. Given that 5-8 shots were fired and all the others hit bystanders, the stage or went off into the ether, this seems unlikely. Looks like spray and pray. The shot that nicked Trump could well have killed him but the assassin doesn't seem good enough to make the shot other than by chance.
It looks like his first shot was to Trump's ear...pretty accurate given Trump's last second movement. The followup shots may have been spray and pray but the first one, the one that needed to count was "on paper."
What does the word expiscatory mean? Or did you mean explicatory?
"What does the word expiscatory mean?"
expiscatory (not comparable) = (archaic; from Latin ex- + piscātor “fisherman”, from piscis “fish”) Tending to fish out; searching.

1. The bullet grazed his ear. Occam’s Razor. Much more likely to be an unintentional miss. A deliberate “miss” would be a very high risk shot even at, what 150m? Trump would have had to have been complicit - which would have looked way different on the stage (bet he wouldn’t have moved a hair)! This was a no schitter assassination attempt by an unlucky, unskilled shooter. Thank God he missed!!
Consider another scenario. One I call the “open barn door” scenario. They just gave him an insufficient number of unqualified agents, who didn’t give complete cover, and increased the probability that a lone shooter or a group of shooters would do their job for them.
It’s akin to the plan for the 2020 election. Push mail-in ballots, push ballot harvesting, push ballot drop boxes. Then, they don’t have to actually commit fraud since they’ve made it easy to commit fraud. A fraud their fanatical voters would commit by themselves having been worked up by constant media blaring that “Trump is Hitler”.
The same basic idea cover their plan for Trump’s so-called USSS “security”.
Have any other fantasies that you want to believe?
If your child brought home a dog that you couldn't stand - not even a little. And then you "accidentally, somehow" left the door to the house and the gate to the yard open and the dog ran away, is that a procedural or operational failure? Your child might not have seen you chase the dog out the door, then out of the yard yet you can cling to it was just an accident. Does that make it an accident?
